An empowering Hoop Dance experience. COSTUMES, JOY & COMMUNITY…

  • We're a team of passionate Hula Hoopers on a mission to feel & spread Joy. We empower eachother through the art of HOOP DANCE, and have THE BEST FUN!

  • The Hoop Army offers dance based Hoop Choreography courses, in which you learn a choreography over multiple weeks, and then have the opportunity to perform the routine at a local event.

    Once you complete a choreo course, you are invited back to perform that routine again in the future when it’s performed. Simply attend the Dress rehearsal.

    Performing is not compulsory. You can attend the courses for fun, fitness & community, bit you don’t have to perform.

  • YES! You can! Simply attend the BEGINNER BOOST course, in which you learn the basics of hula hooping , plus the entire library of Hula Hoop tricks from the Hoop Army library!

    If you already have Hoop experience, you may be ready to jump straight into a choreography course.

The HOOP ARMY is more than just HOOP CHOREOGRAPHY COURSES, it’s a beautiful community & sisterhood.

Meet the Founder

Meet your Captain, Choreographer & Costumier of the HOOP ARMY, Hayley Hoopla! A professional Hula hoop performer herself, she loves nothing more than hooping to music, & sharing her biggest passions: HOOPING, DANCE & COSTUMES!

The most beautiful gift the Hoop Army has given Hayley, is the wonderful Community that has come with it. Originally, Hayley thought it was just a cool idea, the image of fierce women walking down the street…. however the idea never halted, & Hayley has gone on to create many unique choreographies, taken her HOOP ARMY to many events….and all whilst uplifting women along the way.

She loves witnessing the women in the group make friends with each other, encourage one another & cultivate the warm & joyful atmosphere that the Hoop Army entails.

Hayley’s background in Dance forms such as: Hiphop, Jazz, Funk, Flamenco, Bellydance, Dancehall plus Burlesque & even Clowning, inspire her to create the Hoop Army choreographies.
